If the warning light comes on, there
could be a brake problem. Have
the brake system inspected
right away.
This light comes on briefly when the
ignition key is turned to ON/RUN.
If it does not, have it fixed so it
will be ready to warn if there is a
problem.
When the ignition is on, the brake
system warning light comes on
when the parking brake is set. See
Parking Brake on page 2-28 for
more information. The light stays on
if the parking brake does not
release fully. If it stays on after the
parking brake is fully released, it
means there is a brake problem.
If the light comes on while driving,
pull off the road and stop. The brake
pedal might be harder to push, or
it might go closer to the floor. It can
take longer to stop. If the light is
still on, have the vehicle towed for
service. See Towing Your Vehicle
on page 4-40.
{ CAUTION
The brake system might not be
working properly if the brake
system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning
light on can lead to a crash. If the
light is still on after the vehicle
has been pulled off the road and
carefully stopped, have the
vehicle towed for service.
Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light
For vehicles with the Antilock Brake
System (ABS), this light comes
on briefly when the engine is started.
If it does not, have the vehicle
serviced by your dealer/retailer. If
the system is working normally
the indicator light will then go off.
If the ABS light stays on, turn
the ignition off. If the light comes on
while driving, stop as soon as it
is safely possible and turn the
ignition off. Then start the engine
again to reset the system. If the ABS
light stays on, or comes on again
while driving, the vehicle needs
service. If the regular brake system
warning light is not on, the vehicle
still has brakes, but not antilock
brakes. If the regular brake system
warning light is also on, the
vehicle does not have antilock
